Telecom Networks & High Tech Commercial Buildings, First in a Series

Why better building network infrastructure adds value to your business…

 

LEED Certified Buildings win awards for how little energy dollars they require, but those buildings may:

 

1.    cost ten times more for the same telecommunications bandwidth and infrastructure,
2.    not have the highest network reliability that is possible,
3.    be difficult to service,
4.    not provide the highest functionality available or that which is needed by a modern organization wanting to leverage all of the telecommunication, mobility and connectivity tools available.

A vigorous class discussion between contractors, developers, attorneys and others at a recent NAIOP Education event highlights one of the best parts of NAIOP Southern Nevada!

Dear Members,

It has been a whirlwind of a year so far and the feeling of buoyancy amongst our industry is palpable. Everyone I talk to says that they are as busy as they have ever been. I’m glad to hear that so many of our members are experiencing success after a long run of a down market.

On that note, NAIOP has achieved several successes already this year. We had a very successful and well attended Forecast event in January. We had a great group of speakers and the event helped us to continue to foster our relationship with UNLV and the Lied Institute. Read more

On Saturday March 5, 2016 many NAIOP Southern Nevada members and member companies participated in a head shaving, fund raising event at McMullan’s Irish Pub for the St. Baldrick’s Foundation. The St. Baldrick’s Foundation is a volunteer-powered charity committed to funding the most promising research to find cures for childhood cancers and give survivors long, healthy lives. The money is still being counted from Saturday’s event, but the total raised at this one event on one day in Las Vegas was over $500,000. In the 10 years that our group of developers, architects, and their associated employees, friends and neighbors have been involved, this one event has raised over $5 million for children’s cancer research!

I write this letter as I relax after a great powder day at Brian head over the holidays, reflecting on the past year and thinking about the great things to come in 2016. Having moved to Las Vegas in 2002, it honestly took me a few years to realize what a great city it really is. I have been here 13 years longer than I planned on staying but now I proudly call it home.

2015 was a turnaround year for commercial real estate and there is a definite feeling of buoyancy and optimism in our industry. It was a great year for NAIOP under the leadership of Charles Van Geel. We saw significant increases in membership and sponsorship driven by great monthly programs, educational events, and networking opportunities. We brought back the Bus Tour after a several year hiatus and it was a huge success. The media claimed it to be the bellweather of the commercial real estate industry. In addition, there was a feeling of excitement and celebration at the Golf Tournament which sold out quickly and was a lot of fun. Finally, our government affairs efforts led by John Ramous, Sallie Doebler, and Mike Montandon were commendable and we made a real impact during the legislative session. Read more
